Hannah then spent a year as the Friday Harbor Labs post-doc at the University of Washington, before coming back to work in Moorea at CRIOBE as the Attaché Temporaire de Recherche et d'Enseignement. She taught an undergraduate Marine Biology field course for UCLA at the Gump Station in 2008. In April 2009, Hannah starts a job as a research scientist at the West Vancouver Lab of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada with adjunct status at Simon Fraser University, and will continue to work in California and Moorea, as well as British Columbia.
